Beschreibung des Programms

Programme overview

The Master’s programme in the interdisciplinary field of human rights, with a profile within the humanities, combines historical, philosophical, political and legal perspectives on the complex phenomenon that human rights represent in our world. Our teaching faculty reflects the academic width of the Master’s programme. We are committed to the view that human rights need to be regarded and studied not only as ethical principles or ground for law and policy but also as part of the infrastructure of a democratic society. Students have the opportunity to complete an internship, fieldwork, or study aboard as part of their studies.

Special features of this programme:

  • A research-oriented programme for students interested in gaining interdisciplinary skills relevant to political and cultural challenges of our time.
  • An interactive teaching style with close connections to ongoing research.
  • The LUX Humanities Centre, where our department is housed, offers a vibrant environment with the library, café and reading rooms.
